Okay people, it is 3am here and I am heading to bed. See y'all tomorrow.
-
@scottalanmiller good night, I'm en route to work right now (8:47am)
-
It's 8:30AM EST... Dull and early for me. Nothing bright in this boy until at least lunch time.
-
It is a dreary but hot and muggy day in NY too.

And another micro SD card (in a RPi3) is going the way of all mortal beings... :cross:
Began with some cryptic error from dpkg which turned out to be a filesystem warning (structure needs cleaning), did an fsck and now the card is dead. Still booting up to some point until it starts to complain about bad ELF headers
SD cards for operating systems are such a bad idea... I'm thinking about just using cheap SD cards in the future which will hold /boot, everything else will be on a USB thumb drive. Or I will use another platform in the future, Banana Pi for example is a far superior platform overall: SATA, NIC not attached via USB 2, WiFi onboard...

SD cards are generally fine or even great of OSes. But you can't be writing to them, especially for logging. If you make sure that you are using an OS designed for this kind of use (a Live one) or you modify one for this use, they are very reliable.

Sure, they are fine for readonly access. I think I will build something myself, unionfs based maybe (or some successor).

Yup, which is how things being installed to them should be. Same as running off of a LiveCD or LiveDVD which are not even writeable.

But he was trying to install XenServer... Isn't that one of the Hypervisors that everybody has been telling us should be run from an SD card? ... I wonder if it could be an issue with XS7?

It could be that XS7 isn't supported on that hardware platform.

Yes BUT requires that you modify it so as not to write locally. You can't skip that part.

I was under the impression that XS takes that into account when installing to SD, etc.

So the question is @scottalanmiller when are we going to see a guide on how to easily redirect all logging to a remote location?

Well the lab came online last night, so these things are much more possible now.

Isn't Xen running on top of some Linux kernel? Something like rsyslog should do the job just fine in this case.

The LOGGING of XenServer is running on CentOS, Xen itself runs right on the bare metal.

In theory someone tried the syslog redirection and it failed.

Someone, someone.
I'd love to get some more info on this. It's been bugging me for some time now.
Can we start a thread for it?
